Defiant Development has confirmed that new DLC is live for Hand of Fate 2… in some parts of the world at least. Switch owners in Europe have access to Outlands and Outsiders & The Servant and the Beast right now. Players in North America can get their hands on the content starting November 9.
Also note that there is also a free update this week for everyone. The Goblin Faction, Shadow Faction and Combat Reforged add-on packs will be made available at no extra cost.
Pokemon GO is continuing to perform strongly. Sensor Tower reports that in October, the game earned roughly $73 million in gross revenue worldwide across the App Store and Google Play.

Earlier today, we heard Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri speaking about the challenges of making a Mario movie. He actually had a bit more to say about the project, including Shigeru Miyamoto’s role.
As we know, Miyamoto is acting as a producer. Meledandri says that Illumination is “keeping him front and center in the creation of this film.”
Best Buy may soon be giving fans an opportunity to try out Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in a much more expansive fashion. While the retailer did hold demo events at select stores several weeks ago, we’re hearing that a widely-available version could be appearing as early as this week.
Twitter user ChaseJ_T spotted Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at a Best Buy demo kiosk earlier today. Best Buy’s official account even chimed in with a reply, stating: “The cat is out of the bag.”
We’re a month out from Smash Bros. Ultimate, so it’d definitely make sense for a new demo to start making the rounds at retailers. Keep an eye out on your local store for a possible appearance in the near future.
Ronimo Games readied a new trailer for Swords & Soldiers II: Shawarmageddon, which is coming to Switch in the near future. We have the video below.
Choice Provisions shared first details today on some major updates in the works for Runner3. The game is getting a significant amount of difficulty options, the ability to self-bonk, scoring changes, and more.
Here’s the full rundown:
It was nearly a year ago that Nintendo announced an animated Mario movie. Illumination, the company behind the Despicable Me franchise, will be leading the way on its creation. While some may have concerns about how it will turn out, we at least know that Shigeru Miyamoto will be co-producing.
In an interview with Variety, Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri spoke about the upcoming film. He believes the main issue with the panned Super Mario Bros. movie from 1993 is that the original creators weren’t involved – which won’t be the case this time around.
Digital Foundry published a new tech analysis for Diablo III – Eternal Collection on Switch today. We learn more about the game’s resolution, frame rate, and more.
